The workshop was a pre-discussion platform of main session of the World Congress on Economic History, to be held on August 2 in Boston. The main purpose of the round table was to discuss the hypothesis of the existence of two binary characteristics (anonymous / not anonymous, with intermediaries / without intermediaries) that determine the choice of means of exchange - money - in trade in the historical context. The hypothesis was tested on the example of different territories and periods: Argentina (2003 - 2004), Siberian region of the Russian Empire (XVIII-XIX centuries), colonial Africa (XXth century), Great Britain (XVII-XIX centuries), China (XX century) and Japan (XX century).Workshop link http://www.ens.fr/agenda/variety-exchange-and-character-money/2018-05-17t110000

The meeting was devoted to the discussion of the cooperation issues on the joint conduct of an international study on historical statistics. One of the research areas of the Institute Louis Bachelier is the study of economies in transition, which is thematically consistent with the IISE research project on comparison of changes in living conditions in the republics of former USSR and countries of Eastern Europe over the last 50 years.
